Conservation Leadership MS Program - Colorado State University

Society is faced with some of the greatest challenges in history, from climate change to biodiversity loss to energy security and beyond. We need leaders who think differently, embrace complexity, and see the human and environmental condition as one intricate system. CSU’s Conservation Leadership Program, also called Conservation Leadership Through Learning (CLTL) is a 21-month Master of Science degree that will prepare students to be a part of the next generation of conservation leaders who will tackle these dynamic challenges. In August 2013, the third cohort of students will begin an intensive educational journey in the United States and around the world. CLTL merges trans-disciplinary university education with real-world action to train leaders who can deliver on-the-ground benefits for conservation and communities. By reaching far beyond the classroom walls, students will develop the knowledge and real-world skills to become effective conservation leaders making a difference for the environment and people’s lives.

CLTL is a partnership between Colorado State University’s Warner College of Natural Resources and university, NGO, governmental, and community partners around the world.  For more information, please visit the website (http://leadershipthroughlearning.org/) or write to leadership@warnercnr.colostate.edu. Applications are now being accepted through February 15^th 2013, for an August 2013 program start date.
